One day I swiped an abandoned "noodle" (cheap, round $.99 float) from the 
pool at my old apartment, sawed it into 8" lengths and sliced a V shaped 
notch about an inch down into the center of the sections.  Tied some mono on, 
attached a wire leader with a quick release swivel and voila, nice cheap 
functional trolling rig.  i put it under my deck bungies with the bungy 
passing through the V part.  This is both somewhat shock absorbent and easy 
to pitch and recover if something big hits.  I have used it extensively along 
the gulf coast but still havent had anything hit.  I think I need some more 
length on the line.  It is still exciting to know that you have the potential 
to catch something while paddlin'.  Almost had a heart attack when i paddled 
through an unsuspecting school of Jack Crevaille at Horn Island this past 
week.
